Nonetheless, a small cadre of operatives, who often used multiple proxy accounts to multiply their effect, continued to plug away at harassing Limbaugh advertisers over a variety of issues. Because I stopped following their efforts, it’s unclear if it is the same original group members, or not. My sense is that some of the original crew have faded away.

Over time, I stopped writing about the anti-Limbaugh effort as it was a sideshow. But the group never went away, and succeeded in antagonizing people. The StopRush group elicited this response from a college student who objected to their taking over other groups’ hastags, Dear #FillTheBowl Twitter trolls: go home.

Clear Channel Networks Group and iHeartRadio President Darren Davis said this week that social media attacks on conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh have come mostly from a small but dedicated group of activists.

“[A] huge focus for me is to have Rush be appreciated for what he truly is,” Davis said in an interview this week.

The radio boss, whose company carries the Limbaugh program, said that his team investigated numerous campaigns aimed at removing the conservative radio host from the air and found that a very small group was responsible for a majority of the complaints.

The other day, Limbaugh read a post from College Insurrection about Ohio State’s requirement that students not only have consent to have sex, they needed to agree on why they were having sex. Otherwise, it’s a campus violation.

Here’s what consent is at Ohio State. After you and your partner decide that you’re gonna make out or have sex, you agree to do it, then you have to agree on why. “Consent is the act of knowingly, actively and voluntarily agreeing explicitly to engage in sexual activity. Consent must be freely given and can be withdrawn at any time.”

“You have to be sober, not coerced, imaginative, enthusiastic, creative, wanted, informed, mutual, honest, verbal. The absence of ‘no’ does not mean ‘yes.’ It must be asked every step of the way. It cannot be implied or assumed, even in the context of a relationship. Circumstances in which a person CANNOT legally give consent: (No matter what he or she might verbalize): The person is severely intoxicated or unconscious as a result of alcohol or drugs. The person is physically or developmentally disabled. The victim is under the age 13 or is elderly. So as long as the girl is thirteen years old, she can give consent for sex, provided it’s creative and enthusiastic.”

“Consent must be freely given, can be withdrawn at any time, and the absence of ‘no’ does not mean ‘yes.'” How many of you guys, in your own experience with women, have learned that “no” means “yes” if you know how to spot it? Let me tell you something. In this modern world, that is simply not tolerated. People aren’t even gonna try to understand that one. I mean, it used to be said it was a cliche. It used to be part of the advice young boys were given.

See, that’s what we gotta change. We have got to reprogram the way we raise men. Why do you think permission every step of the way, clearly spelling out “why”… are all of these not lawsuits just waiting to happen if even one of these steps is not taken?

Those comments then were twisted by the DCCC for fundraising purposes, purporting that Limbaugh was advocating sexual assault, even though he clearly was not. A DCCC petition demanding that Limbaugh be dropped by radio stations has over 300,000 signatures as of this writing (which, of course, means the DCCC has 300,000 more names and email addresses in its get-out-the-vote database).

The false narrative was pushed very hard at left-wing websites looking to promote the DCCC “War on Women” campaign theme. Via Politico:

A representative for Rush Limbaugh is accusing the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee of intentionally lying about the radio host’s remarks in “a disturbing and cynical attempt to fundraise from the serious problem of sexual abuse.”

“The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee emails about Rush Limbaugh are an intentional lie, using 10 words carefully selected from his full comments to imply the opposite of what he actually said,” Brian Glicklich, a spokesperson for Limbaugh, told POLITICO on Wednesday.

On Tuesday, DCCC Chairman Steve Israel sent a blast email asking supporters to sign a petition calling on Limbaugh’s sponsors to pull their advertising from his program because of remarks he had made about rape. Israel characterized Limbaugh as saying, “…No” means “yes” if you know how to spot it…” The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee sent out a similar email on Wednesday.

The StopRush group apparently is part of or piggybacking on the DNC effort.

The Limbaugh spokesman, Brian Glicklich, has been tweeting vigorously that the StopRush operatives will to be forced to “sign your name” to their anonymous actions, and used the hashtag “SignYourName”.

#stoprush distributes target lists widely, while hiding in shadows. If you intimidate anonymously, get ready to #signyourname and be known

Maybe Roman Polanski is writing new law for campuses … a leftist form of sharia law for academia.

Once they lock up all the male students for improper drunken flirting (“sorry boy, your compliance signature was not properly notarized, and not filed with authorities”), female coeds will wantonly sign up with the leftist professors for extra credit in graduate level “feminism”.

Those rules/laws are only if you DON’T knock her up. IF she gets knocked up, AND you take her to Planned Parenthood, you’re golden. PP won’t snitch, the girl will think (a) you really care about her & (b) she won’t want her parents to know, and of course you aren’t gonna tell anyone unless you’re an idiot braggart.

All of that’s true but remember that 8% of the total population of the USA listens to his show EVERY DAY. The advertisers know this which is why only one got stupid the last time they pulled this crap.

Every time Rush has mentioned a website address (except his own) on the air, that website crashed within five minutes. If you want to know what real power is, look no further.

Leftists know they cannot depend on the Market to promote their ideas. As an example nobody listened to AirAmerica so they always resort to lies or bullying tactics. Advertisers allow themselves to be intimidated by them at great risk of alienating their real customers.
